2006 Chateau Pichon Baron
Description
Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London. The 2006 Château Pichon Baron has more red than black fruit on the nose, quite showy with hints of crème de cassis and then later it calms down to reveal classic pencil lead aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip in the mouth. This is quite assertive and grippy, although later vintages have evinced more precision and mineralité on the finish. Still, this is a fine if rather burly Pichon Baron. Tasted January 2016. Neal Martin

Tasting note
這款2006年的波爾多佳釀，來自著名的波亞克產區，展現了波爾多釀酒的傳統與宏偉。酒液呈深石榴紅色，香氣迷人，混合了香料與紅色水果的香味，如紅醋栗和黑醋栗，並帶有細膩的木質感和輕微烘烤的氣息。入口飽滿，結構良好的單寧預示著其長壽命。酒尾帶有礦物質和鹹味，並有活潑的新鮮感，讓人印象深刻。建議至少醒酒兩小時，以充分體驗其複雜性。
This 2006 vintage from the esteemed Pauillac appellation is a testament to the grandeur of Bordeaux's winemaking tradition. The wine presents a deep garnet hue, with a nose that seduces with its blend of spices and red fruits, including redcurrants and blackcurrants, complemented by a subtle woodiness and lightly toasted notes. The palate is greeted with a fleshy attack, revealing structured tannins that promise longevity. A mineral, salty finish with lively freshness ensures a lasting impression. Decanting for at least two hours is recommended to fully appreciate the wine's complexity.
